Enjoying Weight Loss

You might believe that hypnosis is just the stuff of stage shows, or have seen infomercials in which a hypnotist is demonstrating his or her powers over the (paid) audience!

THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!

Hypnosis, when practiced by a legitimate provider, is approved for clinical use by both the British Medical Association and the American Medical Association.

Most importantly for you, clinical studies showing how hypnosis helps with weight loss are irrefutable:

•In a 9-week study of two weight management groups (one using hypnosis and one not using hypnosis), the hypnosis group continued to get results in the two-year follow-up, while the non-hypnosis group showed no further results (Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1985).

•In a study of 60 women separated into hypnosis versus non-hypnosis groups, the groups using hypnosis lost an average of 17 pounds, while the non-hypnosis group lost an average of only .5 pounds (Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1986).

In a meta-analysis, comparing the results of adding hypnosis to weight loss treatment across multiple studies showed that adding hypnosis increased weight loss by an average of 97% during treatment, and even more importantly increased the effectiveness POST TREATMENT by over 146%. This shows that hypnosis works even better over time (Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1996).

The bottom line here is that when hypnosis sessions are added to various weight loss programs, the results are always better — more than 146% better over the long term!
